Earlier this year, we
announced our plan to offer model contract clauses as an additional means of compliance with the European Commission’s
Data Protection Directive for Google Apps customers who operate within Europe.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that
model contract clauses are now available for customer sign-up via the Google Apps
control panel.
Google is committed to helping users of Google Apps meet their compliance needs. In addition to
Safe Harbor and our
ISO 27001 certification, model contract clauses will provide customers with additional compliance options and furnish European businesses and organizations with information they need to trust Google Apps.
